1.8.7 on Windows

[whitmer]

I know, I know, I'm a glutton for punishment. But it seems like there's a problem getting closure compiler to work on Windows with ruby < 1.9. In your gemspec you don't list any dependencies, but in lib/closure/popen.rb you require 'win32/open3' if on windows with ruby < 1.9. I have to add some funky logic to my Gemfile to manually require this gem in order for things to work on windows.

Any change you can update the gemspec?

[jashkenas]

Do you know of a way to update the gemspec, without requiring the gem on all other platforms, where it's not needed?

Lets call 1.8 use-at-your-own-risk at this point.
